Hold Fast, Mercy Me

To everyone who's hurting
To those who've had enough
To all the undeserving
That should cover all of us
Please do not let go
I promise there is hope

Hold Fast
Help is on the way
Hold fast
He's come to save the day
What I've learned in my life
One thing greater than my strife
Is His grasp
So hold fast

Will this season ever pass?
Can we stop this ride?
Will we see the sun at last?
Or could this be our lot in life?
Please do not let go
I promise you there's hope

You may think you're all alone
And there's no way that anyone could know
What you're going through
But if you only hear one thing
Just understand that we are all the same
Searching for the truth
The truth of what we're soon to face
Unless someone comes to take our place
Is there anyone?
All we want is to be free
Free from our captivity, Lord
Here He comes

These words are not my own, but speak the truth I need to cling to. This morning I caught just a brief part of the Dove awards, completely by accident. I've heard this song many times before...this time I was brought to tears.

I love this: "What I've learned in my life one thing greater than my strife is His Grasp".

Lord, please help those of us who feel so stuck and discouraged. May we be encouraged to know the strife this life brings is only temporary.
